I won a Di-Acro #2 bender at an auction last week. I have wanted one since I was introduced to one back in Junior High metal shop and I finally got one. It came with a few dies and pieces but its missing the lock down handles and all the pins. The pins are simple enough but can anybody help me...

My cousin invented a new oil change filter tool, I think its a pretty cool idea. What do you guys think ? Filter Buddy I think it looks pretty handy, I always get hot oil running down my arm when I change the oil on my truck and I am thinking of giving one a try.

An upcoming auction in my area has this tool listed. It looks like some kind of rivet press but has an electric motor connected to something that I don't recognize. The press looks like maybe it has a foot operated lever. The guy that owns all this restored old Farmall tractors as a hobby...

Twice a year I go to a school district auction, they have shut down all the industrial arts classes city wide so there is usually something of interest to me. I have made many good tool purchases and I think I have posted about a few on here as well. About 3 years ago at one of these auctions I...

I went to an auction Saturday and now I have two oxy acetylene setups, both are on Harper carts. One is the "side by side" variety and the other is the "front to back" type. I only need one here in my home shop and will take the other to my cabinet shop. We have a back room where we do the...

I thought it would be good to have a tool ID thread for those of us that frequent auctions and sales. I always seem to end up buying a flat of tools just to get one thing I want, I now have quite a collection of tools I don't know what they are used for. To start here are pics of 3 tools that I...

Has anybody here bought a kit from WeldTables.com? The kits look pretty good for the price, I am considering buying one. I actually found the video here that led me to their website. I will be calling them soon to find out about freight cost to a commercial address since that should be a little...

I have been without a metal lathe for four years now. I had an Atlas 618 that I restored and it was ok just too small. I have been wanting another metal lathe lately and happened to see a couple at an auction today. I managed to win the lathe pictured below including the tooling in the other two...

Like the title says, I want reverse on my drill press. I have wanted to use left hand drill bits several times now and reverse might be handy other times. The motor data plate doesn't say it can be reversed but I wonder if it can be? I have other motors that can be reversed by switching the T5...

So, I was at this auction yesterday and bought a 55 gallon drum of Evaporust for $110. I'm hoping it works as advertised but I was talking to a guy that worked at the company I bought it from and he said it doesn't work. I'm planning on throwing some stuff in a bucket later tonight and give it a...

Ok, this is my first post here. I have been lurking for awhile and have decided it was time to start posting and I'm pretty excited about my latest acquisition! My Dad and I bought two air compressors at an auction last weekend and finally got them home today. I went to buy one (the blue one in...
